Great points you made here. What I personally don’t like about many travel stories I read, especially from well known magazines, are how direct and lethargic the prose comes out. It all revolves around facts with some abrupt pun thrown in to add a little “humor” to the article. A lot of these writers don’t get their hands dirty and you can tell it in the writing too. Their editors must be the biggest squares of them all. Hell, even an F bomb once in a while can add some life to a story.
Well I'm one of them on the rise this year. I'll be covering and writing a ton about Mexico and other Latin countries and their communities as I trek through Latin America beginning in May. Stay tuned
I have just about finished my travel story from 20 years ago, on as a 50 year very inexperienced solo traveller, I had those memorable moments of seeing things with fresh eyes. In between my trip I did write about lesson learnt, but my subscribers are limited. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm now a 70 year old semi-retiree who lives in Australia.

thank you! I wish we could just have more firsthand narratives and personal stories.
